“I contacted the international media, and then I received a call from the American embassy, which got involved and resolved the problem with the Facebook administration, and the page returned to action on Monday evening,” said Munir Radi Al-Jaghoub, head of Fatah’s Commission of Mobilization and Organization.
The State Department denies having made this call, but it is entirely believable that some anti-Israel Obama appointee would have done so, despite the fact that Fatah repeatedly and unapologetically preaches and glorifies jihad terrorism and celebrates the murder of Israeli civilians.
Meanwhile, referrals to Jihad Watch from Facebook are down 90% daily, as the Leftist authoritarians who have appointed themselves guardians of public opinion do everything they can to make sure you remain ignorant of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat. But Fatah’s glorification of jihad terrorism is just fine with Mark Zuckerberg, and at least some of the staff at the State Department.
“State Dept Denies Lobbying Facebook to Reinstate Palestinian Gov’t Facebook Account,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, March 20, 2017:
The State Department is denying accusations by Palestinian officials that it directly intervened with Facebook to reinstate the Fatah political party’s official account, which was shut down about a month ago promoting terrorism and disseminating anti-Israel materials.
A State Department official who spoke to the Free Beacon “firmly” denied the accusations, maintaining there was no attempt to intervene on the Palestinian political party’s behalf.
Fatah’s official Facebook page was removed a month ago, but reappeared on the social media site a day later. Palestinian government officials later claimed that the U.S. Embassy directly intervened to ensure the Facebook page was reactivated.
“I contacted the international media, and then I received a call from the American embassy, which got involved and resolved the problem with the Facebook administration, and the page returned to action on Monday evening, Feb. 27, and they apologized and explained that what happened was a mistake,” said Munir Radi Al-Jaghoub, head of Fatah’s Commission of Mobilization and Organization, according to information provided by Palestinian Media Watch, a group that monitors regional media.
Palestinian Media Watch has “documented hundreds of posts by Fatah glorifying violence and terror, and praising murderers,” according to a press statement issued by the group.
“A suicide bomber who murdered 11 and a sniper who shot and killed 10 have been glorified by Fatah in such posts, some of which appeared on Fatah’s Twitter account,” according to the group….
Westman says
Those, “..accusations by Palestinian officials..”, appear more like bragging.
Sedition in the State Department holdovers? How long before Wikileaks burps up a confirmation?
mortimer says
Drain the swamp of seditious ‘blame-America-first’ globalists, then HIRE ROBERT SPENCER to train everyone at the State Department in the JIHAD DOCTRINE, the TAQIYYA DOCTRINE, the MISOGYNY DOCTRINE and the KAFIR DOCTRINE.
Polk says
The State Dept is a CESSPOOL of Deep State and Obama people
Tillerson will figure out who’s who
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Yes he will Polk. And when he does, I wouldn’t like to be them.
Robert says
amazing that many websites are blocked by FaceBook that do not at all propagate violence but ask questions only in a democratic fashion / tradition. But these websites and profiles where a gun is in its front page to advocate the Jihad is more than welcome….. incomprehensible
mortimer says
Who is lying? Are they both lying? Fatah is a genocidal organization. Why are they not censured for promoting genocide and other crimes against humanity?
Polk says
The State Dept and the U S Jerusalem Consulate have to be FUMIGATED
That Consulate does NOT Report to the U S Embassy in Israel
They deal directly with the Palestinians and REPORT to somebody in Washington
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The only way to clean out the globo-socialists from State is to fire everybody, except Tillerson, and start anew. Justice is almost as bad, but State is worse. For example, when it became clear that Hillary and Bill were peddling U.S. American interests for cash, where was the career diplomat whistleblower?
Angemon says
Maybe. Or maybe they’re lying to undermine Trump’s relations with Israel.
